Much to the surprise of the coyote, a presence was noticed not too long after her call into what seemed to be abandoned land. A white mass, so similar to the snow, approached. What it was did not go unnoticed by the Eternian. She and the boy-child had wandered into a land of wolves, but unlike the family she had left behind, she held no external animosity for the larger canines. Certainly not when they smiled so openly, as the green-eyed monster did. Tlantli allowed her own face to settle upon the child huddled near to her, not so much younger than herself; still too young to bear offspring, she had taken it upon herself to raise the otherwise unloved Kimaris. Miqui and Imacai had more important things to do.
The coyote's ears twisted to the shape of the cream-furred woman as she spoke, giving an absent smile to the words. Citlali was indeed beautiful, a coyote through and through, and her most precious possession. But no, they had not come to seek out someone special. "Home. We come to fine home. Our family is not here; Aye know this," she explained. How did she know Miqui and Imacai were not within the carefully marked walls? Intuition. There would be other times to search. For that moment, she needed to house herself and the boy who accompanied her. A jangle of metal-on-metal broke the air as she reached out to ruffle her nephew's mop of mane.
